I see, talk about power relations but never mention class.

[@diehledwards7356]

What are you implying? That her posthuman angle is secretly in support of classist oppression? She calls out neoliberalism, capitalism, wealthy elites. What would you like to add?

@@diehledwards7356 No, I dont believe it is classist etc. I think that by building on the politics of discourse, it downplays the importance of class and in particular class relations. As a consequence, her angle - in my view - fails to adequately address a key area of challenge and change to Capitalism. Having watched some of her other talks as well, I do not accept that, when the rubber hits the road, you can simply move beyond capitalism in terms of a emancipatory, liberationist and democratic project by simply disassociating one self from capitalism or merely changing cultural discourses. For me, Braidotti's brand of post humanism sits well within the liberal framework that Capitalism can easily absorb. And at the end of the day Capitalism remains Capitalism.
